“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Pause at 9:40.) Now it is meaningless to call such dreams or dream places hallucinations, for they are representations of definite “objective” realities that you cannot perceive as yet in their own guise. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

(Pause.) This information is, then, often interpreted on return by other layers of the self such as the body consciousness and subconscious, where it is formed into dreams that will have meaning to these areas of the self and where general teaching, for example, may be translated into practical advice involving a particular matter.

(Pause at 10:57.) End of dictation. [...]

(Long pause.) You always translate experience into terms you can understand. [...] As a language that you know is, again, dependent upon other languages, and implied pauses and silences, so the dream that you experience and recall is also one statement of the psyche, coming into prominence; but it is also dependent upon other events that you do not recall, and that your consciousness, as it now operates, must automatically translate into its own terms.

(Pause at 9:40.) It is not quite that simple, however, for you live in the midst of multitudinous small deaths and births all of the time, that are registered by the body and the psyche. [...]

(Long pause at 10:51.) You become aware of probabilities, as actions sometimes that seem to have no connection with your own, but which are still related to them in that greater scheme of interaction that ordinarily you do not comprehend.

[...] (Pause.)

(Long pause at 9:35.) My consciousness is fairly well focused within Ruburt’s body. [...]

(Pause, then humorously): You may take a break.

(Pause at 10:45.) The hour is growing late. [...]

[...] (Pause.) About your dream and drawing.

She is devoid of possessions of a physical nature, signifying that she does not reach out toward such possessions, but reaches with inner hands (pause) for other fruits. [...]

(Pause.) Give us a moment.... [...]

(Pause at 10:10.) At the same time, there is much discussion about the good of mankind, ideal principles, goodness, charity and faith—but these are seen as possible only within the group, for the exterior world, you are told, is full of evil and corruption. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Prentice-Hall, in capsule form, so to speak, is a representative of the most diverse kinds of thought currently held in your country — that is, under it’s overall auspices you have the most conventional establishment-oriented textbooks, devoted to continuing traditional ideas. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) They are in their way bridges between the two opposing ways of thought. [...]

(Long pause.) Because of those divisions, however, there is indeed a great publishing leeway possible of books that otherwise could not mingle.

(Long pause.) Now: We have been dealing with the magical approach, and let me gently remind the two of you that I said that you must be willing to change all the way from the old system of orientation to the new, if you want the new approach to work fully for you in your lives. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) It depends upon conscious thinking, problem-solving methods, and it is a natural human blossoming, a spectacular mental development in its own framework of activity.

[...] (Pause.) They have loving emotional relationships, complicated societies,³ and in a certain sense at least—an important one—they also have their arts and sciences. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) In human beings the genetic structure largely determines physical characteristics such as height, color of eyes, color of hair, color of skin—and, of course, more importantly, the number of fingers and toes, and the other specific physical attributes of your specieshood. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) The species cares for itself in the event of any possible circumstance, so that the genetic messages also carry an endless number of triggers that will change genetic combinations if this becomes necessary.

[...] (Long pause, eyes closed.) These do not only appear within your own system. [...]

(Pause at 9:30.) At no time will any given church be able to express the inner experience of all individuals. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

(Pause at 10:30. [...]

[...] (Pause.) There were other groups of Essenes, therefore, beside the one generally spoken of.

[...] (Pause.) There were three basic groups: the one generally thought of, an offshoot in Africa, and the Asia Minor group mentioned earlier. [...]

(Pause.) You had better remember in what session that information was given you.

[...] (Jane paused as Seth, a hand to her eyes.) Now, I do not know whether or not we can get this through clearly… Give Ruburt a piece of paper, and together we will see.

(Long pause.) Your ideas about yourself are, again, vital in the larger context of a healthy lifetime. [...]

(Pause at 4:25.) The sooner you can rid yourself of rigid beliefs about the survival of the fittest, the better you will be. [...]

(Pause, one of many.) Even though this book is being dictated within time’s tradition, therefore, I must remind you that basically (underlined) that tradition is not mine—and more, basically (underlined), it is not yours either.

(Pause.) We will nevertheless call our next chapter “In the Beginning,” laying certain events out for you in serial form. [...]

(Long pause.) New paragraph: In deeper terms their existence still continues, with offshoots in all directions. [...] (Long pause, one of many.) In the reckoning that you accept, the species in its infancy obviously experienced selfhood in different terms from your own. [...]

(Long pause at 11:22.) Give us a moment… Speaking historically in your terms, man first identified with nature, and loved it, for he saw it as an extension of himself even while he felt himself a part of its expression. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Sense data itself has a reality independent of any given object. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Now once energy is formed into any kind of a pattern, the identity of the pattern is maintained. [...]

[...] (Pause.)

[...] Jane paused at 10:12, then took the envelope for our 59th experiment from me without opening her eyes. [...]

(Pause, and slowly:) The cells’ basic innocence of time discrimination had to be bypassed. [...]

[...] The future was blocked, practically speaking (long pause), to preserve freedom of action and to encourage physical exploration, curiosity, and creativity. [...]

(Pause at 10:37.) Its focus in the present is now secure. [...]

(Slowly:) In a world in which individuals were confined in space in a tribe or clan (a one-minute pause), action was immediate. [...]

(Once again, Jane’s Seth voice was good, with the usual pauses.)

[...] (Pause.) It goes without saying that some people become ill rather than change their activities and their environments. [...]

(Long pause.) I am taking my time here, for there are some issues that I would like to clear up, that are difficult to explain.

[...] I want you to try and imagine actual events, as you think of them, to be (pause) the vitalized representations of probabilities—that is, as the physical versions of mental probabilities. [...]

[...] Events that you do not perceive as conscious experience are (pause) a part of your unconscious experience, however, to some extent. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Any such concentration, to whatever degree, ties you in with those probabilities, so concentrate upon what you want, and as far as public events are concerned, take it for granted that sometimes even men are wiser than they know.

[...] (Long pause, eyes closed.)

[...] Seth’s pace had been good, with few pauses.)

[...] (Pause.)

[...] (Long pause.) A note to Ruburt: he should keep a robe handy. [...]

(Pause at 10:45.) These coordination points also serve to give your system additional sources of energy. [...]

(Long pause at 10:50. [...]

(Long pause.) Now you may take a break or end the session as you prefer.

(An abrupt ending, then, after a long pause. [...]

(One-minute pause at 11:15.) Again, this is difficult to explain.... (One-minute pause, eyes closed.) Because you did succeed, our relationship was inserted into the past. [...] (Long pause.) The idea of counterparts was meant to lead you beyond time-oriented reincarnational ideas.

(Long pause at 10:50.) I know the contours of your minds and consciousnesses far better than you may imagine. [...]

(Long pause at 11:05.) Very difficult to explain. [...]

(Long pause.) The emotions connected with these bridge beliefs may indeed surprise you, but standing upon such unifying structures you are also free to let the emotional flow sweep past, feeling it, but aware for the first time, perhaps, of the origin of those feelings in your beliefs, and no longer afraid of being swept away by them.

(A one-minute pause at 10:05.) Bridge beliefs may become available to you in the dream state. [...]

(Pause.) At such times there can also be strong emotional content, as of finally triumphing over psychological chaos, or even of rising from the dead. [...]

(Pause.) Ruburt is determined, persistent, stubborn, with great energy; creative, intuitive, and endowed with excellent flexibility of consciousness. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Period.

[...] All exist (long pause) in an inner webwork, and are held in the memory of an overall earthly knowledge — one that is biological, so that each smallest microbe has within it the imprinted biological messages that form each and every other microbe. [...]

(4:43 p.m. “It’s me,” Jane said after a pause. [...]
